Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.<br /><br />I am currently in a program in the US and we recently learned about the history of the Disability Movement in the USA. Many of the thoughts on how to include the children in our society instead of sending them off to institutions came from Wolf Wolfensberger's time spent in Sweden and Norway. It seems the US had learned a lot from your country and, while we still have some distance to go to catch up, I am thankful that your country is so inclusive for persons with disabilities.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259709507156454270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-49911895246981837352010-07-16T16:00:04.310-04:002010-07-16T16:00:04.310-04:00What a great idea for a series of posts, ellen.
